Eclipse Monster
A.H. Mittelman
Eerie shadows cast by the eclipse stretch across the Earth.
Casting an ominous pall over the sea, the sand, and all other land, the eclipse causing a monster to arise, and it is big and grand.
Lurking in the darkness, a monstrous beast hides, ready to eat us for its feast.
Invisible, immortal, its presence never ceased.
Perched upon the horizon, aroused by the eclipse, its blood-red eyes gaze at us, it licks its lips.
Stirring ancient fears that were once long forgotten, we quake in our boots, now seeing the monster, as our lives it loots.
Eyes looking at the eclipse monster and wide with terror, we huddle real close, but this does us no good, as it slashes our throats.

She loves me
She loved me. When I was small and my wee stayed to the paper. When I was rumpled skin and floppy big paws and big eyes looking up and waiting for her hands to find me, scooping me up and bringing me into her. And we were happy, so happy, so very, very happy. I was so happy to see her and danced my circles so she'd know how much I wanted nothing more than for her to hold me. I'd wrap, wiggle, wiggle and wrap my growing body with my bestest happy dance, slumping and kerplumping into her warm parts just like she liked me to. She was there and I was there, and we were there together, and it was perfect. Oh, how she loved me! We spent all our time together, playing inside, outside, up, down, going round and round. And she petted me and called me good girl when I made poops, and sometimes when I weed in her front yard or the neighbor's, and I was the best girl. For her, I really was! And she scratched me behind my ears, and it was heaven. I aowooo my joy! And she aowoooed hers too.

What? A slasher eclipse poem 😂😂
Glad eclipses only happen somewhere in the world every 18 months or so if that's what they bring.
I like that idea of a monster that only comes out during an eclipse. Intriguing
